Approaches that guide online work
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help you spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. ACT can help when worry or avoidance keep you from living how you want.She also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and patterns. That work can help with intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and healing from relationship wounds. Choosing an approach is part of therapy; she will work with you to find what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting counseling into a busy schedule, cutting travel time, and allowing for shorter check-ins around work or caregiving obligations. Therapists commonly adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment-focused work to an online format so you can learn coping skills, practice communication, and try exercises between sessions without changing your daily routine.
